It will be acceptable for the experiments to run
multi-user pilot jobs without requiring identity switching for a period of 3
months (i.e. until end of February 2010)
o This
means that we are temporarily and exceptionally suspending the identity-switching
requirement of the existing JSPG Policy on Grid Multi-User Pilot Jobs: https://edms.cern.ch/file/855383/2/PilotJobsPolicy-v1.0.pdf;
o During
this time problems with workloads at a site will be the responsibility of the
VO – i.e. The entire VO could be banned from a site;
o The
situation will be reviewed after 3 months, or earlier if needed due to
operational or other circumstances.

The deployment of glexec and SCAS (or
equivalent) should proceed as rapidly as possible at all sites. The
versions of both components for SL5 are now available. Note that SCAS is
the solution for EGEE sites, other implementations of this function may be implemented
elsewhere, but glexec must be deployed as the interface for the pilot jobs to
use.
·
The experiments that propose to submit
multi-user pilot jobs should endeavour to ensure that their frameworks make use
of these tools on this same timescale.
·
We will implement a test to validate the
availability and usability of a glexec installation at a site.
·
The long term policy requirements of
traceability and the ability to ban individual users from a site remain
unchanged, but we agreed to start a review of how these requirements could be
better managed and implemented in the long term to satisfy the needs and
constraints of sites and experiments.
